ISSUED THURSDAY .
TO THE VOTERS
OF AMHERST UNION
SCHOOL DISTRICT
Practically one month from today,
at the August primaries, you will be
called upon to approve a bond laaue
tor better school facilities. We want
you to be Informed on thia matter
carefully so that you may vote Intelligently. Before deciding to aubmlt the
question of a ichool building bond Issue, the Board of Education satisfied
Itself flrat, that more ichool room li
absolutely necessary to carry on the
work of educating our boya and gtrli,
and, second, that the ichool district li
well able to finance the program of
building which we are proposing. You
are entitled to the same Information
that waa available to the board In
leading to Its conclusions. This article deala with the fact of the need for
more rooms. A later one will dlicuii
tho matter of ichool finance.
Total school enrollment la a aignifl-
cant figure to deal with in considering
necesaary achool room. For while not
all the pupila enrolled In the ichool
during a given year may be there on
any one day, we must be equipped to
care tor the total enrollment. Note
what has been happening to ou/ total
enrollment since the records of 1914-
1916. The flgurea following are taken
from the report! of the ichool superintendents aa forwarded to the itate
at the close of each achool year.
Year Tot. Enrollment
1914-1916 639
19151916 639
19161917 643
1917-1918 673
1918-1919 6J.5'
1919-1920 654
1920-1921 J, 689
If we estimate that there will be 80
boya and girls in our first grade next
year, we have already enrolled In the
flrat eight graded for next year 525
pupils. This comes within 14 of the
total enrollment for all grades, Including the high ichool in the achool year
19141916. +
There are already enrolled for next
year more than 40 pupila per teacher
In the elementary and intermediate
departments of the ichool. The seventh and eighth gradea enroll more
than 120. Last year our flrat grade
reached an enrollment of 90.
The high achool last year enrolled
164. In 1914-1915 t ,gh achool numbered 124. The h,„ , achool la growing. If all of the boya and girls in
the seventh and eighth grades at the
central achool continue their work Into
the high achool, they will make a achool
almoat exactly the sizo of the whole
high achool In 1914-1915.
A new compulsory attendance law
which will be in operation by the beginning of the achool year 1921-1922
require! all boya and girls to continue
their ichool work until they have
reached the age of 16. The law provides specifically that thia ihall Include high ichool attendance ai well
aa attendance In the lower gradea.
The average pupil reachea thia age at
about the aecond year of high achool,
The old law allowed boya to quit
achool If they were 15 years of age and
hod paased the sixth grade. Girls
were required to attend until they hod
reached 16 years of age and had palled the seventh grade. The new law
will have a considerable effect upon
high achool attendance.
We could go over the preaent ichool
building room for room, and ihow that
if we were to take the whole high
achool department out of the building,
the first eight gradea would on the
flrat day of achool next fall fill the
preaent building very comfortably.
The seventh and eighth grades would
occupy every seat in the large study
ball which once accommodated the
whole high achool. We might call
your attention to the fact that there
are seven rooms on the first floor of
the present building. Laat year It waa
necessary to divide the flrat grade into
three sections. The flrat grude alone
would occupy nearly half of the flrat
floor if each aection were given a room
of ita own tor tho full day. We might
show you that laat year, In the intermediate department, 47 pupils were
■eated In a room that will give 20
square feet of floor apace to 86 pupila
and another room where 45 seats were
placed for 48 pupila with 20 iquare
feet of floor ipace capacity tor 33.
It hardly seems necessary to multiply such lmtancea. But we want
you to know Just where we stand.
We are desperately in need of additional ichool room. We think It advisable In the new building to allow
for tome little growth right at the
start and to build in such a way that
additional rooms can be easily added
when needed. W« are asking for a
very conservative project. Before election day we want you to see the plaui
of the uew building approximately as
It will look when completed.
Thli is your project. Think It over
carefully and vote on It Intelligently
at the primary election.

FORD PLANT BUILDS
108,962 IN JUNE
Demand Exceeds Output as Ford Plant
Break! All Prevloua Records.
During the month of June, the Ford
Motor company, through its Detroit
factories and 22 assembly plantl
throughout the country, reached the
production of 1U8.962 Pord cars and
trucks, Betting up a new high record
for one month.
Production of Ford cars and trucki
has.been steadily Increasing since early spring, and shows substantial gains
over the same period laat year. The
second quarter of 1921, via.: April,
May and June, showa an output of
301,796 Ford cars and trucks against
2Zi,olH for the same three months of
last year, or a net Increase of 80,918.
Deapite the fact, however, that the
Ford plants have been running at
maximum capacity, the demand for
Ford cars and trucks ia not being met,
and at the preaent time, many thousand unfilled orderi have been piled
up ahead so that Fard sales are still
limited by manufacturing facllltiei
rather than marketing possibilities.
Particularly is this true with respect
to enclosed cars, for which the demand
has been unusually heavy.
One reason, died by Ford officials,
for the unprecedented demand lor
Ford cars la the present tendency
toward economy. Many of those whose
names have been added to the long
list of buyers might well have afforded
larger and more costly cars than the
Ford, but it is the belief that most
prospective motor car buyera are Investigating all of the cost! incident to
motoring much more carefully than oi
any period during the past five yean.
The *<atIma t e.l output ot the 1 Ford
factories for July calls for 109,000 can
and trucks, or a production of 4360 a
d:ry for 25 days. Since the assembling of cars is being handled during
an eight-hour work day only, the hourly output will be 545 cars. In other
words, one Ford car or truck leavea
the assembly line every 6V4 seconds.

BASEBALL GAME 8CHEDULE
WAS CHANGED SUNDAY
The baseball game which was to be
played last Sunday between the Amherst Parkers and the Atyourdors of

cotini of the South Amherst team cancelling the game. The Amherst team,
however, played the Lorain A] C.'b and

COONCIL HOLDS
REGULAR MEETING
DEFICIENCY BONDS UP FOR DISCUSSION—MANY COMPLAINT*
ON FIREWORKS RECEIVED
The village council met In reguli*
teuton on Tuesday evening where ths
paving project was further dlscusied
and many other business matters con-
crnliig fireworks and tho violation of
he Quiet Zone ordinance were aet-
tied.
The exact amount of the deficiency
bond issue which will be placed before
the i>' opic ill the election In November
s now being decided by the council.
1 lie amount or this issue will depend
largel) upon the amount needed to"
over the expenses of paving. The
village income und running expeniei
will also figure In when the amount ia
dccidi d. An estimate of the amount ia
set at a little over $0,000. due to the
decrease In the income of the village
this year. If Ihe decrease had hot oc-
1 UtT*d the paving project would have
gone through with only a small bond
issue and perhaps none at all.
The council has found it necessary
to defer the paving of Milan avenue
this summer, chiefly because ot the
ink of funds. However, the plana to
pave Milan avenue from the end of
I'levelanil avenue to the end of the
town property will be carried out.
In connection with the paving the
property owners on Prospect street
are circulating a petition to the effect
that that street be paved. The council lias discussed paving thli itreet
before and has estimated it in the
paving program, but owing to the fact
.hat the petition had not been presented to them nothing was done con-
cernlng the matter. The council ' ot
the opinion that if the property owners should decide to have the itreet
paved that it could not be done until
the full us the already-planue.l-for paving will lake up the entire summer.
It will he uecessury for the Cleveland, Southwestern Railway Co. to
move the location of Its "Y" on Milan
.1 venue to coincide with the paving
plans of that portion of Milan avenue.
When the tracks were put In, the one
on Milan avenue was placed on the
north side of the street but before the
paving is started there it will be placed
In the center of the street. The railway company's officials state that they
will start work on the tracks Immediately.
The d is: a chances which were caused
by the use of llreworks on and before
the fourth huve brought complaints
to the council regarding the matter.
For some time before the Fourth fireworks were on sale and the privilege
was abused at that time and the coun-
il took steps to prohibit the sale of
fireworks until a few days before the
Fourth. The use after that period of
time was also ubused and tho council
has now taken steps to prohibit the
use of llreworks on the streets from
now on. The sale of llreworks, however, will not be prohibited If Bold under the conditions stuted In the ordinance.
The violation of the Quiet Zone ordinance was brought before the council
Tuesiluy evening, owing to the fact
I hut several people have complained
of such offense. Automobllea have
been uccustomed of late to run on
Cleveland avenue past tl.e hospital
with "cut outs" open, causing a commotion disturbing to the patients
thoro. The use of firework! In that
zone has also aided in the disturbance.
From now on the violators who lnalit
on earning diiturhancs on the streets
within hearing distance of the hospital will he closely watched by the city
officials and will probable lead to arrests.

ISSUED THURSDAY .
TO THE VOTERS
OF AMHERST UNION
SCHOOL DISTRICT
Practically one month from today,
at the August primaries, you will be
called upon to approve a bond laaue
tor better school facilities. We want
you to be Informed on thia matter
carefully so that you may vote Intelligently. Before deciding to aubmlt the
question of a ichool building bond Issue, the Board of Education satisfied
Itself flrat, that more ichool room li
absolutely necessary to carry on the
work of educating our boya and gtrli,
and, second, that the ichool district li
well able to finance the program of
building which we are proposing. You
are entitled to the same Information
that waa available to the board In
leading to Its conclusions. This article deala with the fact of the need for
more rooms. A later one will dlicuii
tho matter of ichool finance.
Total school enrollment la a aignifl-
cant figure to deal with in considering
necesaary achool room. For while not
all the pupila enrolled In the ichool
during a given year may be there on
any one day, we must be equipped to
care tor the total enrollment. Note
what has been happening to ou/ total
enrollment since the records of 1914-
1916. The flgurea following are taken
from the report! of the ichool superintendents aa forwarded to the itate
at the close of each achool year.
Year Tot. Enrollment
1914-1916 639
19151916 639
19161917 643
1917-1918 673
1918-1919 6J.5'
1919-1920 654
1920-1921 J, 689
If we estimate that there will be 80
boya and girls in our first grade next
year, we have already enrolled In the
flrat eight graded for next year 525
pupils. This comes within 14 of the
total enrollment for all grades, Including the high ichool in the achool year
19141916. +
There are already enrolled for next
year more than 40 pupila per teacher
In the elementary and intermediate
departments of the ichool. The seventh and eighth gradea enroll more
than 120. Last year our flrat grade
reached an enrollment of 90.
The high achool last year enrolled
164. In 1914-1915 t ,gh achool numbered 124. The h,„ , achool la growing. If all of the boya and girls in
the seventh and eighth grades at the
central achool continue their work Into
the high achool, they will make a achool
almoat exactly the sizo of the whole
high achool In 1914-1915.
A new compulsory attendance law
which will be in operation by the beginning of the achool year 1921-1922
require! all boya and girls to continue
their ichool work until they have
reached the age of 16. The law provides specifically that thia ihall Include high ichool attendance ai well
aa attendance In the lower gradea.
The average pupil reachea thia age at
about the aecond year of high achool,
The old law allowed boya to quit
achool If they were 15 years of age and
hod paased the sixth grade. Girls
were required to attend until they hod
reached 16 years of age and had palled the seventh grade. The new law
will have a considerable effect upon
high achool attendance.
We could go over the preaent ichool
building room for room, and ihow that
if we were to take the whole high
achool department out of the building,
the first eight gradea would on the
flrat day of achool next fall fill the
preaent building very comfortably.
The seventh and eighth grades would
occupy every seat in the large study
ball which once accommodated the
whole high achool. We might call
your attention to the fact that there
are seven rooms on the first floor of
the present building. Laat year It waa
necessary to divide the flrat grade into
three sections. The flrat grude alone
would occupy nearly half of the flrat
floor if each aection were given a room
of ita own tor tho full day. We might
show you that laat year, In the intermediate department, 47 pupils were
■eated In a room that will give 20
square feet of floor apace to 86 pupila
and another room where 45 seats were
placed for 48 pupila with 20 iquare
feet of floor ipace capacity tor 33.
It hardly seems necessary to multiply such lmtancea. But we want
you to know Just where we stand.
We are desperately in need of additional ichool room. We think It advisable In the new building to allow
for tome little growth right at the
start and to build in such a way that
additional rooms can be easily added
when needed. W« are asking for a
very conservative project. Before election day we want you to see the plaui
of the uew building approximately as
It will look when completed.
Thli is your project. Think It over
carefully and vote on It Intelligently
at the primary election.

FORD PLANT BUILDS
108,962 IN JUNE
Demand Exceeds Output as Ford Plant
Break! All Prevloua Records.
During the month of June, the Ford
Motor company, through its Detroit
factories and 22 assembly plantl
throughout the country, reached the
production of 1U8.962 Pord cars and
trucks, Betting up a new high record
for one month.
Production of Ford cars and trucki
has.been steadily Increasing since early spring, and shows substantial gains
over the same period laat year. The
second quarter of 1921, via.: April,
May and June, showa an output of
301,796 Ford cars and trucks against
2Zi,olH for the same three months of
last year, or a net Increase of 80,918.
Deapite the fact, however, that the
Ford plants have been running at
maximum capacity, the demand for
Ford cars and trucks ia not being met,
and at the preaent time, many thousand unfilled orderi have been piled
up ahead so that Fard sales are still
limited by manufacturing facllltiei
rather than marketing possibilities.
Particularly is this true with respect
to enclosed cars, for which the demand
has been unusually heavy.
One reason, died by Ford officials,
for the unprecedented demand lor
Ford cars la the present tendency
toward economy. Many of those whose
names have been added to the long
list of buyers might well have afforded
larger and more costly cars than the
Ford, but it is the belief that most
prospective motor car buyera are Investigating all of the cost! incident to
motoring much more carefully than oi
any period during the past five yean.
The *' opic ill the election In November
s now being decided by the council.
1 lie amount or this issue will depend
largel) upon the amount needed to"
over the expenses of paving. The
village income und running expeniei
will also figure In when the amount ia
dccidi d. An estimate of the amount ia
set at a little over $0,000. due to the
decrease In the income of the village
this year. If Ihe decrease had hot oc-
1 UtT*d the paving project would have
gone through with only a small bond
issue and perhaps none at all.
The council has found it necessary
to defer the paving of Milan avenue
this summer, chiefly because ot the
ink of funds. However, the plana to
pave Milan avenue from the end of
I'levelanil avenue to the end of the
town property will be carried out.
In connection with the paving the
property owners on Prospect street
are circulating a petition to the effect
that that street be paved. The council lias discussed paving thli itreet
before and has estimated it in the
paving program, but owing to the fact
.hat the petition had not been presented to them nothing was done con-
cernlng the matter. The council ' ot
the opinion that if the property owners should decide to have the itreet
paved that it could not be done until
the full us the already-planue.l-for paving will lake up the entire summer.
It will he uecessury for the Cleveland, Southwestern Railway Co. to
move the location of Its "Y" on Milan
.1 venue to coincide with the paving
plans of that portion of Milan avenue.
When the tracks were put In, the one
on Milan avenue was placed on the
north side of the street but before the
paving is started there it will be placed
In the center of the street. The railway company's officials state that they
will start work on the tracks Immediately.
The d is: a chances which were caused
by the use of llreworks on and before
the fourth huve brought complaints
to the council regarding the matter.
For some time before the Fourth fireworks were on sale and the privilege
was abused at that time and the coun-
il took steps to prohibit the sale of
fireworks until a few days before the
Fourth. The use after that period of
time was also ubused and tho council
has now taken steps to prohibit the
use of llreworks on the streets from
now on. The sale of llreworks, however, will not be prohibited If Bold under the conditions stuted In the ordinance.
The violation of the Quiet Zone ordinance was brought before the council
Tuesiluy evening, owing to the fact
I hut several people have complained
of such offense. Automobllea have
been uccustomed of late to run on
Cleveland avenue past tl.e hospital
with "cut outs" open, causing a commotion disturbing to the patients
thoro. The use of firework! In that
zone has also aided in the disturbance.
From now on the violators who lnalit
on earning diiturhancs on the streets
within hearing distance of the hospital will he closely watched by the city
officials and will probable lead to arrests.
The council took steps to have all
weeds cut Inside of the corporation
with the option of letting the property
owners cut them or have the city olB-
. iiils hire some one to cut them at the
•xpense of the property owner. The
council is of the opinion thut there will
be no difficulty in having the weedi
cut as It will help to beuutlfl private
dwellings as well as the streets.
